8/30 Mets (Figueroa) vs. Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 CT, WGN

[Sammys Boombox]

No mention of it here but the Giants completed the sweep and so the hope (for some of us) remains alive.

 

I still am holding out hope. A win today would have been awesome. A win today and another win vs. the Nationals would have been even better. Of course, a win today, another win vs. the Nationals and another win vs. the Padres would have been glorious... UGH! This team has been frustrating.

 

Just get hot, stick somebody else in the rotation for Z and hope the breaks fall your way. A good month and 3-of-4 from SF could do it.

 

SF is also in the race for this thing and tied for the WC lead. Unlike the Rockies, their pitching is downright terrifying and they're getting hot at the right time.

 

We need them to falter, too.

 

Thankfully we have a four-game set against them towards the end of the season. If we need to makeup a small chunk of games that can really help.
